New Officers Elected to Freshman Council
by Betsy Briggs
QC Assistant News Editor
Freshman elections were
held last Friday to determine the
new freshman class officers. The
newly elected officers are President Ken Chiu, Vice President
Stephen Benard, Secretary Amy
Benton and Treasurer Amy
Kaber.
Chiu, a local from Rowland
Heights, feels that he was very
qualified for the position of
Fresman Class President because of his experience in high
school. He was the freshman
class President, sophomore class
President, junior class Vice President and the Student Body Presi-
denthis senior year ofhigh school.
Chiu used red ribbons and
big signs to remind the freshman
class that he was running. He
doesn't like to waste paper, so he
collected discarded flyers from
around the mailroom and used
the back of them to make his
announcements. Chiu said the
red ribbons worked well because,
"they didn't get torn off and they
didn't blow away."
Chiu is also involved with
the Friday Afternoon Volleyball
Club, the Culture and Educa
tion Committee and the Karate
Club, but he's not too busy to
talk. "I'm always free and I want
to be accessible to any student,"
Chiu said.
"I was elected to represent
the views ofthe freshman," Chiu
said. 'Tm their representative
and if they don't come talk to me,
I won't know what they want."
Stephen Benard, the newly
elected Vice President, was vexy
involved in activities outside of
high school, such as Youth in
Government, which is a statewide mock leadership project. "I
thought it would be fun and a
good way to meet people," Benard
said, "and a chance to do some
stuff with the class."
Secretary Amy Benton liked
to be involved with the Student
Council at her high school, so she
thought she'd give it a try here
too. Benton's campaign slogan
was very straightforward. 'Iran
areally simple campaign. I didn't
want to litter the campus, so I
concentrated more on talking
with people," added Benton.
Treasurer Amy Kaber was
very involved in planning large
events and fundraisers in her

COR Begins Year
with $6000 Surplus
By Brian Brown
QC News Editor
The 1992-93' Council of
Representatives treasury was
approximately $6000 over
budget accordingtothisyear's
COR records.
Because funds are rolled
over to the following years
monetary allotment, this
years CORwillhavethe$6000
added to this year's budget.
Associated Students of
Whittier College President
Andy McDonald states, "The
money doesn't evaporate or
get dumped into the general
fund...if it is not spent it rolls
over into the next semester."
The extra money is an
example of "good planning"
according to McDonald.
"It doesn't make economic sense to strive for a
zero balance the first semester when several unforseen
costs may occur over the summer. For example, sizable
down deposits were needed to
reserve rooms for events like
Luminaries", stated
McDonald.
The excess funds are also
due to "tight money
managment" on the part of
last year's COR in response to
the 1991-92 COR's financial
trouble.
McDonald states, "After
the previous administration
and financial situations that
resulted, we were and will
continue to be on the judicious
and conservative side when it
comes to student monies."
These "financial situations" involved a large deficit
left to last years COR by the
previous administration.
COR President Pro-Tern
Rhonda Ross states, "The
1991-92' Council of Representatives had problems staying
within their budget. This left
last year's COR with a deficit.
We only had about half of the
budget that they had to work
with so we had to be extra
restrictive with our funds."
Another problem the
1992-93' COR faced was the
resignation of Treasuser
Chong Nam in the middle of
the last semester ofthe 1992-
93' school year.
Ross said, "When Chong
resigned there was a little bit
of confusion on his part and on
our part on where each account stood. We tried to
tighten the strings because
we were very determined to
not exceed our funds."
COR held a special meeting on Wednesday night to
appoint a new treasurer to
the post vacated by Nam last
year.

On-Campus Clubs to
Re-apply for Official
College Recognition
by Vuk Milojkovic
QC Editor-in-Chief
All on-campus clubs will
have tore-register with the Office
of Student Life prior to being
officially recognized by the school,
according to Director of Student
Activities, Reuban Rodriguez.
In order to be eligible for
recognition, all clubs, except
societies, must complete an
Application For Recognition As
An Official Whittier College
Organization and submit their
Constitution and Statement of
Purpose.
According to Rodriguez,
recognition will follow shortly
after all the supporting papers
have been filed with his office
and then will make clubs eligible
for COR funding.
According to ASWC
President Andy McDonald, the
Council of Representative was
ready to start distributing funds
to all clubs as early as Sept. 29
prior to learning of the re-
registration requirement from
Rodriguez.
"All clubs can come forward
and request funds as soon as
they have received a stamp of
approval (from the Office of
Student Life). We will use the
same procedures aslastyear and
nobly will receive more or less
funding based on how long it
takes them to get their paperwork
done," McDonald said.
In addition, club sports,
which include hockey,
cheerleading, women's lacrosse,
rugby, karate and dance will be
asked to provide additional
Catastrophic Insurance for all
their members, unless such a
clause exists in their parents'
insurance policy (please see box
on page 6).
Until all the necessary
information is provided, the club
sports cannot practice, meet as
official clubs or represent the
school at any level of competition.
The additional problem with
club sports is the need for extra
insurance as only the varsity
sports are covered by the College's
insurance policy," Rodriguez
said.
In order to improve and
facilitate the functioning of club
sports, a Club Sport Council
(CSC) has been formed. The
Council was proposed last year
by Vice President of Business
and Finance Harold Hewitt,
former Dean of Students Steve
Gothold and former Director of
Student Activities Ken Kelly.
The CSC will consist of:
Dean of College Life Susan Allen,
Rodriguez, Hewitt, the Athletic
Director, an advisor/coach of each
team, a student or graduate
student work study Associate
Director and a COR appointed
